I've got a Xamarin Forms app running on Android and ios.
The app includes a webview. A user signs up through the webview and the web page loaded within the webview sets neccessary cookies.
When clicking on a link in the webview I want to open up the url in the in-app browser using the Xamarin.Essentials.Browser API.
And I need cookies to be shared between the webview and the in-app browser to maintain the user session.
The webview domain is domain.com/app/ and the in-app Browser url is test.domain.com/
The webview webpage is setting cookies on *.domain.com
If I open the desired page (test.domain.com/) in the webview through an iframe the page loads and the user is logged in.
When I open the page in the in-app Browser, after cookies being set inside webview, the user is not logged in.
Is there something essential about sharing cookies this way that I Am missing?

I have a HybridWebView embedded in one of the Pages of my app. If I visit a website and sign in, the HybridWebView stores the relevant information and whenever I reopen the same website I am still signed in, even after closing and reopening the app.
But when I open the same website from the same Page using await Browser.OpenAsync(Url, BrowserLaunchMode.SystemPreferred); this time I need to log in again.
Is it possible to share the session information between these 2 WebViews or better globally within the app?
At first, Browser.OpenAsync(Url, BrowserLaunchMode.SystemPreferred) will open the Browser not a WebView. You can check the official document about using browser.
And the browser is another app on the device, you can't share the cookie in your app's webview with the browser app. For more information, you can check this answer about the Android Webview private browsing.
In addition,according to this case about how to share cache including cookies between android.webkit.WebView(s), the webviews in the same android app will default share the cookies with each other.
Whenever I navigate through the pages in xamarin, the page having a webview loses the session storage of the website. Is there a way to get and store the session so that whenever I navigate to the webview page, the website session storage won't be lost.
Thanks in advance
I want to create a web application in Laravel. Which runs on the firefox browser. Inside this Laravel Application, I want another firefox browser (firefox browser inside a firebox browser) with the USA proxy. Access through Admin Panel.
Can you guide me with it?

I have installed User Agent Switcher in my firefox and some of the websites when opened automatically redirects to mobile while some of them render desktop websites only.
For example nytinmes.com when opened automatically redirected to http://mobile.nytimes.com/?referrer= while thehindu.com didnt get redirected to m.thehindu.com. My phone mobile does redirect thehindu.com to m.thehindu.com though.
What is making the difference. How do I truly get mobile browser behaviour on my desktop browser?
I am navigating to web page in windows phone web browser control. How to detect whether the requested web page url is authenticated or not in web browser control?
I don't think there is a way as cookies in web browser control are inaccessible. If they were accessible we could have checked their value and it would have been easy.
